my script error

[Jeffrey Duda]

Antoy,
In your bold line (543), the variable "sig_waves" appears to have been
obtained using the subwrd statement from a line of text output from another
command.  Thus, the variable sig_waves is being stored as a string
(character/text) and not a number.  To get around this, simply put sig_waves
in single quotes in line 543.  See if that works.

Note also that if you do this anywhere else in the script, you'll need to
surround those variables with single quotes as well to avoid this same
problem.
